I don't think I could sum it up any better, so I'll not try. And the images you produced are a fair representation. You said what had taken the images, but I still had a sense of recognition. I've had mine from new. I only have 20 odd MF lenses to compare to, but I'd add that most people would be surprised at it's very good build quality, if they were judging expectations only on the price it commands. A small tank.
